Horizon: 10 Things You Need to Know About the Future BBC2: 8.00pm

Yep, there are only ten. Or else that is just for the purpose of a catchy title, we'll let you decide. This Horizon programme sees mathematician Hannah Fry joined by a selection of BBC science experts to investigate the British public's questions about the future, trying to discover whether people could live forever and if there will be a cure for cancer. Hannah examines the future of transport and if it will be possible to ditch fossil fuels, looks at what the weather will be like and discovers if the planet is on the verge of another mass extinction.
